A Randomized Trial of a Combination of Nintedanib/Placebo in Combination With Induction Chemotherapy for Patients With Refractory or First Relapse Acute Myeloid Leukemia
CompletedPhase 2Results postedLast updated 8 April 2022
What this trial tests
Phase 2 trial testing Nintedanib and AML induction in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 25 participants. Completed in 30 March 2021.
18 and older, any sex, with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Per-arm endpoint measurements with 95% confidence intervals where reported. Source: trial results section.
Count of Patients With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Phase 1)Primary· 60 days
In the Phase 1 portion of the study, safety will be assessed after the inclusion of the first 6 patients, to analyze tolerance and adverse events occurring during this trial and will decide on any action to be taken. Safety will be evaluated according to NCI CTCAE V4 criteria. TEAE's were considered adverse events that occurred within 60 days of treatment initiation. The title of this outcome measure was adjusted when results were entered.

Complete Remission Rate (Phase 2)Primary· Up to 2 years
In Phase 2, the primary endpoint of complete remission rate will be based on IWG 2003 AML response criteria.
This construct is an overall response composite and it will be assessed using the following metrics:
Morphologic complete remission (CR): ANC ≥ 1,000/mcl, platelet count ≥ 100,000/mcl, \< 5% bone marrow blasts, no Auer rods, no evidence of extramedullary disease. (No requirements for marrow cellularity, hemoglobin concentration).
Morphologic complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi): Same as CR but ANC may be \< 1,000/mcl but \>500 mcl and/or platelet count \< 100

Incidence of Hematological Improvement (Phase 2)Secondary· Up to 2 years
Evaluation of hematological improvement will be assessed based on IWG MDS 2006 criteria. Due to differing pretreatment conditions of participants, response to treatment in this construct will be assessed in the following manner:
Erythroid response (pretreatment \<11 g/dL) : Hgb increase at least by 1.5 g/dL. Relevant reduction of units of RBC transfusions by an absolute number of at least 4 RBC transfusions/8 wk compared with the pretreatment transfusion number in the previous 8 wk. Only RBC transfusions given for a Hgb of below or equal to 9.0 g/dL pretreatment will count in the RBC transfus

The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of nintedanib+ induction chemotherapy can be an effective strategy for patients where outcome of relapse/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is poor.
